Power Meters / Powermeters (SRM, Powertap, Quarq, Ergomo, Vector, Stages, power2max, P2M, 4iii, InPower, Cinch)

Do they come up on ebay much?

Rarely

But then again I just have a search running for 'power meter'. Seems to pick up other powertaps though.

Yep - very rarely, and tend to be laced to a 26" rim.

I got a wheelset for what I think is a very good price - ENVE 29er CX rims, MTB G3 rear and DT Swiss 180 front, but there was nothing for a long time before that.

Honestly, I'd buy one from Cyclepowermters at that price, or get Wiggle to pricematch it/whatevs.

That's fine - it'd be for 26". I'm not too fussed. I'm only riding the Inbred around while waiting for a new Kinesis. Unless you want to build me a bike? :)

Very happy to do that, just get Scherrit to send over the drawings.

I need to speak to him this weekend about stuff so I'll see if he wants to get drawin'

Well, if we're doing photos of Powertap wheels, here's my latest. 956g. Mind you, it's a 16" rim, so there's not much of it. Sadly I appear to have fucked up the spoke length calculations, so I'm going to have to redo the NDS.

16"?

£20 says Brompton

1457g
Powertap SL+ w/ G3 replacement internals on a 32H DT Swiss R520 w/ 'normal' spokes, Durano 25 I think and butyl tube

I'll not take that bet. Folder didn't even cross my mind. I'm slipping. Must be time for beer.

I'm going to have to weigh something shortly in order to join in.

Please, let it not be a shit.

In other powermeter news, I've just posted my G3 Archetype back to Paligap in the same box the R520 came back in. Stupid powermeters. I've got the wheel covers for this so it'll be interesting to compare it with the 808 I usually race with.

Has DJ taken control of your account?

Not that I know of.

In reference to the scatalogical post, not the bust Powertap post.

I must've just visited the weight loss thread or been thinking about the normal WW response of "just have a shit".

I'm not taking that bet either, 'cos he's right. I decided an SRM on a Brompton was overkill.

Can your on one take 29er wheels? If so you can justify the wheel build and swap between your 4S disc and on one ;)

Not sure. There's probably enough room.

Problem with a shared wheel situation is it wouldn't be a balloonbike any more and it was designed to be a poor-man's fatbike for my thin blood riding. Also, I am very lazy so swapping wheels would just annoy me and I'd buy another set anyway.

Loving your scales hippo

Proper 'Breaking Bad' meth lab scales they are.

Actually they're gf's cooking ones, I have the druggie scales..

When you realise the PMC you've been comparing this year with is from 2011 not 2014... yeah, that.

Think I'll buy a P2M on payday.
Can't find a 2nd hand rotor 110bcd SRM.
